The more places you'll go..

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."    



There's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a good book and a warm blanket.  Add in a hot cuppa tea and I'm set for hours.  I love nothing more than escaping into a book for a couple of hours.  Now that I have a toddler to chase, my hours of reading have changed.  Most often I catch a few chapters while drying dishes, or prepping dinner, or in bed just before I fall asleep. 

This might just be my easiest challenge on the list.  Maybe I should have tried to lose 14lbs, and read 30 books. :)

Deleted.

So, I'm a bit addicted to facebook.  It makes me happy to log on and check out people's pictures.  About half of the people on my fb are people that I've never even met.  I met most of the strangers on forums for both babies and weight loss.  They're amazing people, and fb is a great way to keep in touch.  I'm also a bit nosey, so fb helps with this.

I challenged myself to delete 16 people.  I was nervous.  Would I be able to survive without seeing precious baby pictures of a complete stranger?  Only time will tell.

I was on such a roll deleting that I actually cut 19 friends strangers.
